Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a reference under Article 317 of the Constitution regarding the removal of a member of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission for misbehavior. The Court held that the Governor's request to the President for removal was justified due to the serious nature of the allegations, including involvement in malpractices related to examinations. The Court affirmed that the suspension of the respondent under Article 317(2) was appropriate pending the inquiry, emphasizing the constitutional safeguards in place for such proceedings.
